Oppose Not really contre-jour, still not the best ligthing option for this subject, I believe RolfHill (talk) 08:50, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question RolfHill, just for my edification, what would make it really contre-jour? Would the light have to hit it straight-on? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:46, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The light source would have to be almost directly behind the plant and visible in the image. Daniel Case (talk) 02:35, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So I have to apologize for using the terminus technicus in a wrong way. I am very sorry. The German word Gegenlicht which I tried to translate (misguided by the dictionaries) as contre-jour is often, even by some classic books about photography (e.g. by Andreas Feininger), used in a more general way for lighting of the subject from behind; that may explain my error. Anyway, this is my fault, so please do not vote against Ermell’s photo because I have incorrectly called it contre-jour ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 09:03, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
